Shrimp Artichokes and Pasta

Great Combo

There is not a better combination than Shrimp Artichokes and Pasta. I like to use nice jumbo shrimp and fresh artichokes for this recipe but to save time I usually use frozen artichokes or artichokes packed in water.

This combination can be put on pizza or can be served as a great appetizer without the pasta. You can also just follow this recipes and add some crushed red pepper flakes to spice it up a bit.

If you like you could mix the Shrimp Artichoke and Pasta together with an alfredo sauce or just leave it the way it is. Add more seafood or just leave it the way it is. Use different pasta or just leave it the way it is. It’s all up to you but try it this way first. Enjoy!
